Hi Mplus veterans! I tried to fit a two-level item bifactor random item response model. The below are protocol scripts I wrote for the model. I will greatly appreciate if you can provide some feedback on my scripts. Thank you! TITLE: Two-level item bifactor random response with categorical data VARIABLE: Names are cluster y1 y2 y3 y4 y5 y6; Usevariables are y1-y6; CATEGORICAL ARE y1-y6; CLUSTER IS cluster; ANALYSIS:TYPE = TWOLEVEL RANDOM; PROCESS = 2; ESTIMATOR = bayes; MODEL: %within% s1gw-s6gw | gw by y1-y6*; s1fw1-s3fw1 | fw1 by y1-y3*; s1fw2-s3fw2 | fw2 by y4-y6*; gw-fw2@1; gw with fw1 fw2@0; %between% gb by y1-y6*; fb1 by y1-y3*; fb2 by y4-y6*; gb-fb2@1; gb with fb1 fb2@0; |

This looks correct but may be hard to estimate given that you have random loadings for the specific factors, not only for the general factor. My input in the paper is simpler: Model: %within% s1-s13 | g by u1-u13*; verbal by u1 u5 u10 u13 (lamv1-lamv3); person by u7 u11 u12 (lamp1-lamp2); g@1; verbal-person@1; g with verbal@0; g with person@0; ! verbal with person@0; %between% g@0; verbalb by u1 u5 u10 u13 (lamv1-lamv3); personb by u7 u11 u12 (lamp1-lamp2); verbalb personb; ! g with verbalb-personb@0; [s1-s13] (p1-p13); fb by u1-u13*1 (p1-p13); sigma by s1-s13*1 (p1-p13); fb sigma; |
